Subaru is a brand much-loved by outdoor enthusiasts. And with adventure-friendly vehicles like the 2023 Crosstrek, it's easy to see why. Below, we cover all the features and specs that make the 2023 Subaru Crosstrek an excellent choice in the compact crossover SUV market, and we'll go over some questions we've been frequently asked by our York, Pennsylvania, Subaru customers about the Crosstrek.
2023 Subaru Crosstrek Exterior and Interior Features
The 2023 Subaru Crosstrek comes in five trim levels: the introductory Base, the upgraded Premium, the adventuresome Sport, the well-appointed Limited, and the supremely fuel-efficient Hybrid. When it comes to painting your Crosstrek, you'll have no fewer than ten eye-catching colors to choose from, including Crystal Black Silica, Cool-Gray Khaki, Crystal White Pearl, Pure Red, Plasma Yellow Pearl, and Lagoon Blue Pearl.
All trim levels of the 2023 Subaru Crosstrek come standard with raised roof rails, and the hybrid boasts low-profile roof rails. The Base, Premium, and Sport trims have 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, while the Limited and Hybrid trims rock 18-inch alloy wheels. Upgrading to the Limited or Hybrid trim will include standard LED steering responsive headlights.
On the inside, the 2023 Subaru Crosstrek can comfortably fit five passengers and plenty of cargo. Behind the rear seats on all but the Hybrid trim, you'll find 20.8 cubic feet of cargo space. And, if you lower the standard 60/40-split flat-folding rear seatbacks, the cargo space more than doubles to 55.3 cubic feet. The Hybrid trim offers 15.9 cubic feet of cargo space and 43.1 cubic feet with the rear seatbacks folded flat.
A power driver's seat and leather-trimmed upholstery come standard on the Limited and Hybrid trims, while heated front seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel are on all but the Base trim. All trims come with integrated controls in the steering wheel, USB ports, lockable glove box, and Starlink multimedia system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
2023 Subaru Crosstrek Power and Performance Features
Subaru understands the performance needs of its customers, which is why the symmetrical all-wheel-drive system is included on all trim levels of the 2023 Crosstrek. This all-wheel-drive system efficiently responds to changing road and weather conditions while continually assessing acceleration, braking, and cornering to ensure that the right amount of power is delivered to all four wheels.
Under the hood, the 2023 Subaru Crosstrek features a 2-liter Subaru Boxer four-cylinder engine on the Base, Premium, and Hybrid trims. This engine delivers a respectable 152 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque. Upgrading to the Sport or Limited trim will get you a standard 2.5-liter direct-injection Subaru Boxer engine that boosts power to 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque.
The 2023 Crosstrek Hybrid is a supremely fuel-efficient SUV with an impressive 90 mpg equivalent rating. And even if you don't opt for the hybrid powertrain, you won't pull into the gas station often in the 2023 Crosstrek. The non-hybrid trims still net you over 500 miles of driving range on a single tank of gas.
2023 Subaru Crosstrek Safety Features
All 2023 Subaru Crosstreks come with a suite of standard safety and security features, including vehicle dynamics control, a four-wheel anti-lock braking system, a rear-vision camera, a keyless entry, and an anti-theft security system. Upgrading to the Sport, Limited, or Hybrid trims comes with Subaru's EyeSight driver assist technology package. This includes a pre-collision braking system and throttle management, lane departure and sway warnings, and advanced adaptive cruise control with lane centering. Additional safety features include high beam assist, blind-spot detection, rear cross-traffic alert, and reverse automatic braking, all standard on the Limited and Hybrid trim.
Will the 2023 Crosstrek Be Redesigned?
While the Crosstrek wasn't redesigned for the 2023 model year, a new Special Edition package was added to Subaru's Crosstrek vehicle lineup. The package is an optional add-on to the Premium trim. It comes in the exclusive Desert Khaki exterior color with Crystal Black Silica accents and sports 17-inch wheels, high-quality black and red interior upholstery with red stitching, and an 8-inch color touch screen.
For those eagerly anticipating a new generation of Crosstreks, Subaru has announced that its 2024 model will be completely redesigned. The 2024 Crosstrek will mark the third generation of this popular compact crossover SUV. Keep an eye on our website for more information, as we'll be diligently watching for updates from Subaru so we can share all the details as they're announced.
Is the Crosstrek Worth Buying?
The features and specs of the 2023 Crosstrek, as well as Subaru's warranties, reputation for reliability, and strong resale value, all make the Crosstrek a worthwhile buy, no matter how long you plan to keep it. While you own the car, you'll be covered for the first three years or 36,000 miles with Subaru's new car limited warranty. And your powertrain will be covered for five years or 60,000 miles with Subaru's powertrain limited warranty.
Even beyond its warranty, Subaru's are made to last. Over 95% of Subaru Crosstrek vehicles sold over the last ten years are still on the road today. And if you decide to sell, you can rely on the fact that the Subaru Crosstrek has an extremely low depreciation rate of just 18% over five years. Plus, with one of the highest levels of brand loyalty among all vehicle manufacturers, you'll likely be able to recoup much of your investment should you choose to sell your 2023 Subaru Crosstrek in the future.
